resuscitated when all other restoratives fail great aid m drqwnings washington april 19.-followin the international patenting of the artificial respiration machine invented by professor jeorge poe of norfolk va there has just been completed by poe and several inquir ing scientists a series of amazingly suc cessful experiments with the little con trivance which mechanically puts oxygen the breath of life into inert lungs those who participated in the tests re turned to this city to-day hrmly convinced that thousands of lives may be saved by the brass heart which is what poe's machine practically is it will be especially valuable m cases of suspended animation caused by drown ing by ga-s asphyxiation m mines by typhoid fever and other diseases professor poe by letting the contrivance force upon him iuimlatimi and exhalation of oxygen was enabled to stop breathing for ten minutes animals declared ileinl beyond all doubt by the visiting physicians wore revived m a few minutes and were able to scamper out of the operating room practically revives the dead practically though not literally of course the artificial respiralion machine brought the dead to life and the experts say it will work equally well on human beings professor pop's machine is built as near ly as possible along the lines of the human heart it is about eighteen inches in height with two cylinders corresponding to the ventricles and auricles of the heart inlet and outlet vrlves double tubes enter the larynx and nostrils of the natient roughly the contrivance reseinb 1 a bicy cle tire pump while one s of tubes draws off the poisonous fluid and gases from the lungs the other set forces m the life-giving oxygen the first experiment was upon soc rates a pet rabbit on the poe farm it s given two grains of morphine enough to kill a man then immediately font ounces of ether were administered the physicians pronounced the rabbit dead aft er all restoratives failed the machine was then applied and with in three minutes the effects of the poison and anaesthetic wen drawn off and soc rates jumped from the table and hopped away a large dog was then killed and brought to life again within five minutes the doctors present realized that many of the evil after effects of anaesthesia could be done away with by the machine and there dawned upon them another side of its value which had rather a humorous uspdct intoxication it was fouud could be cured within a few minutes sobers man m three minutes this experiment was actual made the machine was applied to a hilariously drunken man it drew off the poisonous alcoholic fumes and straightened him out m tliree minutes since then it is said professor l'oe has been approached with a proposition to manufacture respirators for this purpose infant nsphasla that dread accompani ment of birth which stifles many a life he fore it has fairly started to exist may also lie wiped out my the respirator dr j p jackson and professor l'oc

icu;iid professo poe as ;> modern mirocle worker despite his persistent declarations that his invention 5 merely jm aid to life and not a creator of life after it bag tied the country people call him the raiser of the i>eaii many persons have written to poe ask ing him to try and restore life to relatives who have been dead for weeks months and even years he is engaged now m manufacturing sev eral

squadron's objective was asia minor â– necessitating ir voyage of 700 miles it has been derided if deemed necessary to obtain a smr.h island off that coast but it is hoped here that turkey will sire full satisfaction so that more energetic meas ures may be avoided the demonstration is to be begun on thursday it is planned cause of the trouble the difficulty between the two nations arises out of the refusal of the turkish government to permit the opening of ital ian postofflces m turkish territory where as other foreign nations are conducting postoffices there without interference much irritation has been felt here also over the murder of an italian missionary in tripoli and the persecution by the otto man authorities of natives who have sold lands to italians but the present action of the italian government is based prima rily on the postoffiee question with regard to this however the turk ish ambassador in home has polntel out m an interview that his government m no in stance has granted to the other countries m question such privileges although it has tolerated t'ae postoffices which they have maintained italians are aroused for years it has been felt m government circles m rome that turkey has been tak ing advantage of the international situation to act m a high-handed manner showing little respect for italian rights this government has been indulgent not wishing to cause complications whicj might might endanger the accord of the powers with regard to the ottoman or the balkan problems in addition there has been much opposi tion on the part of turkey to ail peaceful italian initiative m tripoli affairs reached a climax when italy asked permission to open postoffices m turkish territory where other powers already had offices estab lished and met with what is considered by the administration here unjustifiable re fusal besides being an acquired right italy considers that she is entitled to claim it according to treaties between the two countries granting her the privileges of the most favored nation powers approve demonstration apparently turkey came to the conclu sion that the italian government would never resort to extreme measures m view of the fact that the macedonia problem was pending and she went so far as to onlcr detachments of troops to guard thy italian offices and thus prevent the work from being carried out to that provocation the italian adminls tratiou felt it could reply only with co duke d'abruzzi and the battleship elina under his command ordered to take part m the italian naval demonstration against turkey

inventor poe's experiments with his respirator are perfectly successful sobers man instantly j animals resuscitated when all other restoratives fail great aid m drqwnings washington april 19.-followin the international patenting of the artificial respiration machine invented by professor jeorge poe of norfolk va there has just been completed by poe and several inquir ing scientists a series of amazingly suc cessful experiments with the little con trivance which mechanically puts oxygen the breath of life into inert lungs those who participated in the tests re turned to this city to-day hrmly convinced that thousands of lives may be saved by the brass heart which is what poe's machine practically is it will be especially valuable m cases of suspended animation caused by drown ing by ga-s asphyxiation m mines by typhoid fever and other diseases professor poe by letting the contrivance force upon him iuimlatimi and exhalation of oxygen was enabled to stop breathing for ten minutes animals declared ileinl beyond all doubt by the visiting physicians wore revived m a few minutes and were able to scamper out of the operating room practically revives the dead practically though not literally of course the artificial respiralion machine brought the dead to life and the experts say it will work equally well on human beings professor pop's machine is built as near ly as possible along the lines of the human heart it is about eighteen inches in height with two cylinders corresponding to the ventricles and auricles of the heart inlet and outlet vrlves double tubes enter the larynx and nostrils of the natient roughly the contrivance reseinb 1 a bicy cle tire pump while one s of tubes draws off the poisonous fluid and gases from the lungs the other set forces m the life-giving oxygen the first experiment was upon soc rates a pet rabbit on the poe farm it s given two grains of morphine enough to kill a man then immediately font ounces of ether were administered the physicians pronounced the rabbit dead aft er all restoratives failed the machine was then applied and with in three minutes the effects of the poison and anaesthetic wen drawn off and soc rates jumped from the table and hopped away a large dog was then killed and brought to life again within five minutes the doctors present realized that many of the evil after effects of anaesthesia could be done away with by the machine and there dawned upon them another side of its value which had rather a humorous uspdct intoxication it was fouud could be cured within a few minutes sobers man m three minutes this experiment was actual made the machine was applied to a hilariously drunken man it drew off the poisonous alcoholic fumes and straightened him out m tliree minutes since then it is said

derided if deemed necessary to obtain a smr.h island off that coast but it is hoped here that turkey will sire full satisfaction so that more energetic meas ures may be avoided the demonstration is to be begun on thursday it is planned cause of the trouble the difficulty between the two nations arises out of the refusal of the turkish government to permit the opening of ital ian postofflces m turkish territory where as other foreign nations are conducting postoffices there without interference much irritation has been felt here also over the murder of an italian missionary in tripoli and the persecution by the otto man authorities of natives who have sold lands to italians but the present action of the italian government is based prima rily on the postoffiee question with regard to this however the turk ish ambassador in home has polntel out m an interview that his government m no in stance has granted to the other countries m question such privileges although it has tolerated t'ae postoffices which they have maintained italians are aroused for years it has been felt m government circles m rome that turkey has been tak ing advantage of the international situation to act m a high-handed manner showing little respect for italian rights this government has been indulgent not wishing to cause complications whicj might might endanger the accord of the powers with regard to the ottoman or the balkan problems in addition there has been much opposi tion on the part of turkey to ail peaceful italian initiative m tripoli affairs reached a climax when italy asked permission to open postoffices m turkish territory where other powers already had offices estab lished and met with what is considered by the administration here unjustifiable re fusal besides being an acquired right italy considers that she is entitled to claim it according to treaties between the two countries granting her the privileges of the most favored nation powers approve demonstration apparently turkey came to the conclu sion that the italian government would never resort to extreme measures m view of the fact that the macedonia problem was pending and she went so far as to onlcr detachments of troops to guard thy italian offices and thus prevent the work from being carried out to that provocation the italian adminls tratiou felt it could reply only with co duke d'abruzzi and the
